Subject: Sludge Compliance Requirement Change
Dear Permittee:
Coleen H. Sullins Director
Division of water Quality
In accordance with Condition 1II.19 of State General Permit AWG100000, your facility is
required to maintain compliance regarding sludge accumulation in your animal waste treatment
lagoon(s). As you know, the previous compliance limit was to have a minimum of four (4) feet
of treatment depth between the designed stop pump and the average elevation of the top of the
sludge blanket. This requirement was based on NRCS Standard No. 359, which was recently
modified.
As of July 2008, Standard No. 359 does not use the 4-foot requirement. Sludge compliance is
now to be based on the sludge volume as a percentage of the total treatment volume. The revised
Standard states that sludge accumulation in the permanent treatment zone must be less than 50%
of the planned treatment volume. Also, there must be a minimum of 2.5 feet of liquid above the
sludge at the pump intake location. If either of these conditions is not met then sludge must be
removed or managed in accordance with an approved Plan of Action for Lagoon Sludge
Reduction (POA). A new sludge survey worksheet has been developed to calculate sludge and
treatment volumes to determine compliance.
Our records indicate that you have filed a Sludge POA for one or more of the lagoons at your
facility. Based on the changes to the sludge requirements in Standard No. 359, your lagoon(s)
may already be in compliance without any sludge removal. Using your lagoon design (or as -
built information) and current sludge survey measurements, complete the NEW sludge survey
worksheet. If you have any difficulty in locating or understanding your lagoon design
information, please contact your technical specialist or county Soil & Water -office.

The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution
of surface water and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used
to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste
is to be applied.
This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed
before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant
nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize
the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner:
1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient
content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize.
2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials,
cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities.
3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than 5 tons per acre per
year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but
less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established.
4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen.
Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed
under DWQ regulations.
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor
problems.
5. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential
for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than
30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or
disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
1 of 11

This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change
methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different application
methods are not the same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content
for this type of facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which could
allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to
be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type. Lime must
be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC
2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

This plan does not include commercial fertilizer. The farm should produce adequate plant
available nitrogen to satisfy the requirements of the crops listed above.
The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements.
In the future, regulations may require farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient
management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen.
In interplanted fields ( i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in bermuda), forage must be removed
through grazing, hay, and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they
reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a
height of four inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed for hay or silage, care
should be exercised not to let small grain reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e.
April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definately interfere
with stand of bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less nitrogen
being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is
the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to
consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the season, depending on the
time small grain is planted in the fall_
The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late September or early October. Drilling is
recommended over broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or cut to a height of
about two inches before drilling for best results.

The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at
agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to
prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce
approximately 2606.4 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year will accumulate in the lagoon
sludge based on the rates of accumulation listed above.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 13032 pounds of plant
available nitrogen to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermuda grass hayland at the
rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 43 acreas of land. If you apply the sludge
to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 104.256 acres of land. Please note that these
are only estimates of the PAN produced and the land required to utilize that PAN. Actual values
may only be determined by sampling the sludge for plant available nitrogen content prior to application
Actual utilization rates will vary with soil type, crop, and realistic yield expectations for the specific
application fields designated for sludge application at time of removal.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION:
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation
such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil
structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not
exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the
plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the
producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly
irrigate the acres shown in the preceding table. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
"This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil assuming the amount
of nitrogen allowed for the crop is not over applied. In many situations, the application
amount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum
application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions.
Your facility is designed for >180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must
be removed on the average of once every 6 months. In no instance should the volume of the
waste stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of
freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm.
It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment
is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in the tables. Failure to apply
the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in
determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application prior to applying the waste.

Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop
yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and
level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of applications for
other nutrients.
4 Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste
may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per year but less than 10 tons
per acre per year provided grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (See
USDA, NRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips).
5 Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste
should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the land application field.
6 When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste will be soil
incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is applied to conservation tilled
crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur
during a season prone to flooding (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for
guidance).
Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff
does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift
from the site during application_ No ponding should occur in order to control odor and flies.
Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the
surface is frozen.

9 Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is
not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage
from animal waste should also be considered.
10 Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils
with a high potential for leaching. Waste/nutrient loading rates on these soils should be
held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients.
Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages
breaking dormancy.
11 Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following:
The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a
component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary
and canal. Animal waste, other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1,
1995, shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters.
12 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those
owned by the landowner.
14 Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways.
15 Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by
discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland
provided the fields have been approved as a land application site by a "technical
specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge
directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at
agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site.
16 Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall
not be discharged into the animal waste management system.

(continued)
17 A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas
(lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as necessary, to
protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc.,
are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed
and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of
erosion, leakage, or discharge.
18 If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is
responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the
possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion.
19 Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular
basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be
kept on site.
20 Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct
human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human
consumption, it should only be applied pre -plant with no further applications of animal
waste during the crop season.
21 Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the
temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons_ Pumping shall be
managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to
mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds.
22 Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually
at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate -determining
nutrient, unless other restrictions require waste to be applied based on other nutrients,
resulting in a lower application rate than a nitrogen based rate. Zinc and copper levels in
the soil shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals
approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted and maintained for optimum crop
production. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for a minimum of five years.
Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for a minimum of three years.
Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for a minimum of five
years.
23 Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

The waste from your animal facility must be 'land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution
of surface water and/or groundwater. The plantnutrients lnthe animal waste should be used
to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste
is to be applied.
This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as tfie ;limiting nutrient Waste should be analyzed
before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant
nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be.grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization pian in order to. maadmiia
the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in ari environmentally safe manner:
1. Always apply waste based.on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient
content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than.the crop can utilize.
2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates,' leaching potentials,
cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities.
3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less_ than 5 tons per acre per
year. Waste may be applied to find erodino� at 5or"more tons per acre annually, but_ J
less than ,10 tons per acre per year providin!4 that adequate filter strips are'established.
4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when'- it- is_raining, or when the surface is frozen.
Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed
under DWQ regulations.
Page: 1

i
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor -
problems.
6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential
for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than
30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or
disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change
methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different application
methods are not the same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content
for this type of facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which could
allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to
be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type. Lime must
be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC
2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.
AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR ( gallons, ft3, tons, etc.):
7240 animals X 985.50 gal/animal/year =
7,135,020 gallons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN PRODUCED PER YEAR (lbs):
7240 animals X 2.30 lbs/animal/year =
16,652.00 lbs
Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time and have appropriate
equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner.

**See "Additional Comments" on page 6 for optional cropping in the notated fields.
NOTE:
This plan does not include commercial fertilizer. The farm should produce adequate plant
available nitrogen to satisfy the requirements of the crops listed above.
The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements.
In the future, regulations may require farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient
management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen.
In interplanted fields ( i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in bermuda), forage must be removed
through grazing, hay, and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they
reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a
Page: 3

height of four inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed for hay or silage, care
should be exercised not to let small grain reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e.
April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definitely interfere
with stand of bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less nitrogen
being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is
the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to
consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the season, depending on the
time small grain is planted in the fall.
The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late September or early October. Drilling is
recommended over broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or cut to a height of
about two inches before drilling for best results.

See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of animal waste.

SLUDGE APPLICATION:
The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at
agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to
prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce
approximately 0.36 pounds of plant available nitrogen per animal per year in the
sludge based on the application method listed earlier.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 13032.00
pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the
rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 43.44 acres of land. If you apply
the sludge to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 104.26 acres of land.
Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements
could vary by 25% depending on your sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and
applications.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION:
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation
such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil
structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not
exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the
plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the
producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly
irrigate the acres shown in the preceding table. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
The following is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts.

amount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum
application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions.
Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must
be removed on the average of once every 6 months. In no instance should the volume of.the
waste stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of
freeboard except in the event of the.25 year24 hour storm.
It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment
is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in the tables. Failure to apply
the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in
determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application prior to applying the waste.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
l . Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct
discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited.
2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has a notarized agreement for use of
adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to property dispose of waste,
he/she shall provide a copy of a notarized agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her
the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste
Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available
land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available
moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of
application for other nutrients. Actual yields may be used in lieu of realistic yield tables at the discretion of the planner.
4. Animal waste shall be applied on land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding
at more than 5 tons but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the
field. (See FOTG Standard 393-Filter Strips)
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is
danger of drift from the irrigation field.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland.
When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur
during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance.)
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur off -site or to
surface waters and in'a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order
to control odor and flies.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste should be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to depth
that would prohibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered.
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste
nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released
nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of a crop or forages breaking dormancy.
11. Any new swine facility sited an or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area
onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential
property boundary and from any perennial stream or river other than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal waste other than
swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995, shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This
distance may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter strips are present (See Standard
393 - Filter Strips).

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(continued)
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than I00 feet from wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by landowner
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public tight -of -ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying.
Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided it has been approved as a land applications site by a
"technical specialist". Animal waste applied on grassed waterways shall be at agronomic rates and in a manner that causes no
runoff or drift from the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal
waste management system.
17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs,
etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody
species, etc. are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon
berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge.
18. If animal production at the facility is terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan'
which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion-
1 9. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and
spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site.
20, Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if
animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption it should only be applied preplant with no further applications of
animal waste during the crop season.
21. Highly visible permanent markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping
volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A
marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds.
22. Soil tests shall be made every two years, and a liquid waste analysis shall be taken at least twice each year consistent with
waste utilization plan. Poultry litter shall be tested prior to application. Soil and waste analysis records shalt be kept for five
years.
Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets NC regulations.

System Calibration
Information presented in manufacturer's charts are based on average operation
conditions with relatively new equipment. Discharge rates and application rates
change over time as equipment gets older and components wear. In particular,
pump wear tends to reduce operating pressure and flow. With continued use,
nozzle wear results in an increase in the nozzle opening which will increase the
discharge rate while decreasing the wetted diameter.
You should be aware that operating the system differently than assumed in the
design will alter the application rate, diameter of coverage, and subsequently the
application uniformity. For example, operating the systern with excessive pressure
results in smaller droplets, greater potential for drift, and accelerates wear of the
sprinkler nozzle. Clogging of nozzles can result in pressure increase. Plugged
intakes or crystallization of mainlines will reduce operating pressure. Operating
below design pressure greatly reduces the coverage diameter and application
uniformity.
For the above reason, you should calibrate your equipment on a regular basis to
ensure proper application rates and uniformity. Calibration at least once every
three years is recommended. Calibration involves collecting and measuring flow at
several locations in the application area. Any number of containers can be used to
collect flow and determine the application rate. Rain gauges work best because
they already have a graduated scale from which to read the application amount
without having to perform additional calculations. However, pans, plastic buckets,
jars, or anything with a uniform opening and cross-section can be used provided
the liquid collected can be easily transferred to a scaled container for measuring.
For stationary sprinklers, collection containers should be located randomly
throughout the application area at several distances from sprinklers. For traveling
guns, sprinklers should be located along a transect perpendicular to the direction
of pull. Set out collection containers 25 feet apart along the transect on both
sides of the gun cart. You should compute the average application rate for all
nonuniformity of the application. On a windless day, variation between containers
of more than 30 percent is cause for concern. You should contact your irrigation
dealer or technical specialist -for assistance.

NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT
Grower(s):
Robert W. Swain
Farm Name:
Bob Swain Hog Farm, Inc.
County:
Sampson
Farm Type:
Feed -Fin
Farm Capacity:
7240
Storage Structure:
Anaerobic Lagoon
Storage Period:
180 days
Application Method:
Irrigation
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution
of surface water and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used
to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste
is to be applied.
This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed
before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant
nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize
the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner:
1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient
content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize.
2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials,
cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities.
3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than 5 tons per acre per
year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but
less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established.
4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen.
Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed
under DWQ regulations.
Page: 1

5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor_
problems.
6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential
for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than
30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or
disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change
methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different application
methods are not the same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content
for this type of facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which could
allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to
be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type. Lime must
be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC
2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.
AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR ( gallons, ft3, tons, etc.):
7240 animals X 985.50 gal/animal/year =
7,135,020 gallons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN PRODUCED PER YEAR (lbs):
7240 animals X 2.30 Ibs/animal/year =
16,652.00 Ibs
Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time and have appropriate
equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner.

annuals.
"A negative number reflects the total Ibs of additional nitrogen needed to achieve yields on
acreage listed in chart. A positive number means additional acreage is required to utilize the
nitrogen produced by the farm.
NOTE:
This plan does not include commercial fertilizer. The farm should produce adequate plant
available nitrogen to satisfy the requirements of the crops listed above.
The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements.
In the future, regulations may require farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient
management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen.
Page: 3

In interplanted fields ( i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in bermuda), forage must be removed
through grazing, hay, and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they
reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a
height of four inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed for hay or silage, care
should be exercised not to let small grain reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e.
April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definitely interfere
with stand of bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less nitrogen
being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is
the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to
consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the season, depending on the
time small grain is planted in the fall.
The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late September or early October. Drilling is
recommended over broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or cut to a height of
about two inches before drilling for best results.

Acres shown in the preceding table are considered to be the usable acres excluding
required buffers, filter strips along ditches, odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas
not receiving full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total acres in the fields
listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables.
Page: 4

See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of animal waste.
SLUDGE APPLICATION:
The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at
agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to
prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce
approximately 0.36 pounds of plant available nitrogen per animal per year in the
sludge based on the application method listed earlier.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 13032.00
pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the
rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 43.44 acres of land. If you apply
the sludge to com at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 104.26 acres of land.
Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements
could vary by 25% depending on your sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and
applications.

The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation
such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil
structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not
exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the
plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the
producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly
irrigate the acres shown in the preceding table_ Failure to apply the recommended rates and
amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.

*This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil assuming the amount
of nitrogen allowed for the crop is not over applied. In many situations, the application
• amount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum
application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions.
Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must
be removed on the average of once every 6 months. In no instance should the volume of the
waste stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of
freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm.
It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment
is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in the tables. Failure to apply
the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in
determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application prior to applying the waste.

WASTE UIDLIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runt] drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct
discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited.
2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has a notarized agreement for use of
adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste,
he/she shall provide a copy of a notarized agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing hirn/her
the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste
Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available
land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available
moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of
application for other nutrients. Actual yields may be used in lieu of realistic yield tables at the discretion of the planner.
4. Animal waste shall be applied on land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year_ Waste may be applied to land that is eroding
at more than 5 tons but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the
field_ (See FOTG Standard 393-Filter Strips)
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is
danger of drift from the irrigation field.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland.
When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur
during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance.)
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur off -site or to
surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order
to control odor and flies.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste should be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to depth
that would prohibit growth_ The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered.
10_ Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste
nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released
nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of a crop or forages breaking dormancy.
11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area
onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential
property boundary and from any perennial stream or river other than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal waste other than
swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995, shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This
distance may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter strips are present (See Standard
393 - Filter Strips).

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(continued)
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet from wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by landowner
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right -of --ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying.
Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided it has been approved as a land applications site by a
"technical specialist". Animal waste applied on grassed waterways shall be at agronomic rates and in a manner that causes no
runoff or drift from the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal
waste management system.
17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs,
etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody
species, etc. are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon
berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge_
18. if animal production at the facility is terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan"
which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion.
19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and
spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site.
20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if
animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption it should only be applied preplant with no further applications of
animal waste during the crop season.
21, Highly visible permanent markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping
volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A
marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds.
22. Soil tests shall be made every two years, and a liquid waste analysis shall be taken at least twice each year consistent with
waste utilization plan. Poultry litter shall be tested prior to application. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for five
years.
Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets NC regulations.

System Calibration
Information presented in manufacturer's charts are based on average operation
conditions with relatively new equipment. Discharge rates and application rates
change over time as equipment gets older and components wear. in particular,
pump wear tends to reduce operating pressure and flow. With continued use,
nozzle wear results in an increase in the nozzle opening which will increase the
discharge rate while decreasing the wetted diameter.
You should be aware that operating the system differently than assumed in the
design will alter the application rate, diameter of coverage, and subsequently the
application uniformity. For example, operating the system with excessive pressure
results in smaller droplets, greater potential for drift, and accelerates wear of the
sprinkler nozzle. Clogging of nozzles can result in pressure increase. Plugged
intakes or crystallization of mainlines will reduce operating pressure. Operating
below design pressure greatly reduces the coverage diameter and application
uniformity.
For the above reason, you should calibrate your equipment on a regular basis to
ensure proper application rates and uniformity. Calibration at least once every
three years is recommended. Calibration involves collecting and measuring flow at
several locations in the application area. Any number of containers can be used to
collect flow and determine the application rate. Rain gauges work best because
they already have a graduated scale from which to read the application amount
without having to perform additional calculations. However, pans, plastic buckets,
jars, or anything with a uniform opening and cross-section can be used provided
the liquid collected can be easily transferred to a scaled container for measuring.
For stationary sprinklers, collection containers should be located randomly
throughout the application area at several distances from sprinklers. For traveling
guns, sprinklers should be located along a transect perpendicular to the direction
of pull. Set out collection containers 25 feet apart along the transect on both
sides of the gun cart. You should compute the average application rate for all
nonuniformity of the application. On a windless day, variation between containers
of more than 30 percent is cause for concern. You should contact your irrigation
dealer or technical specialist for assistance.

PRELEVUNARY DESIGN AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE
WASTEWATER IRRIGATION SYSTEM FOR
BOB SWAIN HOG FARM, INC.
7240 HEAD SWINE CONTRACT FINISHING FACILITY
The Swain farm consists of twelve feeder to finish swine confinement buildings with a total capacity
of 7240 head, ranging in age from six years to 23 years, located in northeastern Sampson County.
The facilities were built in five stages over this time, and each stage includes its own waste
treatment/storage lagoon. Due to the time and manner in which the farm was developed, several
waste management plans exist separately for the individual expansion projects, and the owner
wishes to combine the entire operation under a single waste management plan (WMP). A new
WMP will be developed based on this irrigation design, such that the nutrient and hydraulic
limitations are considered, and acreage in the WMP will be based on effective wetted acreage from
this design.
The facilities will produce approximately 16,652 pounds of plant available nitrogen (PAN) per year.
Crops to be grown include hybrid bermudagrass hay on land owned by Mr. Swain, and a
soybean/wheat double crop on land under lease agreement. If required to utilize the nitrogen, small
grain hay can be overseeded with the coastal on portions of the area. Also, based on the plan's
nitrogen deficit as designed, the owner will have the flexibility to rotate other crops in the leased
field if desired. The total land available for land application on the utilized fields is approximately
62 acres owned and 33 acres leased. Of that acreage, approximately 49.1 acres of the owned land
and 25.5 acres of the leased land can be effectively irrigated with the designed system. This acreage
is sufficient to meet the PAN produced by this facility using the crops and realistic yields as listed in
the approved waste utilization plan.
As detailed later in this report, the irrigated areas have been assigned irrigation field numbers rather
than using the ASCS Tract Numbers. The farm consists of several tracts, and individual fields in
several cases are divided into different tracts and field numbers, so the I - 4 field designation is used
to simplify the recordkeeping process. The system designed will cover 8.1 acres of Field I-1, 9.8
acres in Field I-2, I6.7 acres in Field I-3, 12.4 acres in Field I-4, 2.2 acres in Field I-5, and 25.5 acres
in Field I-6. The crops listed on this acreage will utilize 18,723 pounds of PAN per year, while the
farm should produce 16,652 pounds per year.
Soil types on the farm in the area of waste water application are primarily Wagram, Blanton, and
Norfolk. The Wagram series is a well drained coastal plain soil with loamy sand surface and
subsurface layers and sandy clay loam subsoil. Permeability is moderate, available water capacity is
moderate, and surface runoff is slow. The Blanton series is a moderately well drained soil with
sandy surface and subsurface layers and sandy loam to sandy clay loam subsoil. Permeability is
rapid in the thick sandy surface layer, available water capacity is low, and surface runoff is slow.
The Norfolk series is a well drained soil with loamy sand surface and subsurface layers and sandy

loam to sandy clay loam subsurface. Permeability is moderate, available water capacity is moderate,
and surface runoff is slow.
The farm currently includes two fields with permanent solid set irrigation system and one field with
two hydrants for a big gun traveler. Irrigation equipment is already owned by the farm and is
discussed later in the report. Due to further clearing and the lease of Field I-6, more solid set and
traveler irrigation can be installed to meet the requirements of the WMP and allow greater flexibility
to the farm in managing the nutrients and hydraulic requirements.
All solid set sprinklers are single nozzle 9/32". Spacing of sprinklers is mostly 80 feet between
sprinklers along each lateral and 80 feet between the laterals. Solid set layout design is based on all
spacing being 80 feet by 80 feet, but in some cases the spacing was adjusted slightly to accomodate
the shape of fields or existing risers. The sprinkler wetted radius is approximately 66.5 feet. The
spacing is approximately 60% of the wetted diameter of the sprinkler throw. This spacing should
provide a coefficient of uniformity of approximately 77%. Recommended average sprinkler
operating pressure is 55 psi.
The traveler system is a Hobbs Reel -Rain Model 1030 hard hose traveler with a 3.0" diameter 965'
long hose, with a Nelson 150 big gun and ring nozzle. Most pulls are designed using a 1.18" ring at
70 psi sprinkler pressure, which produces approximately 245 gallons per minute (gpm) and a wetted
diameter of 330 feet. Two pulls will operate with the 1.08" ring at 60 psi due to limited field width,
which yields 200 gpm and 300 feet spray diameter. Field I-4 contains 2 hydrants spaced 220 feet
apart_
Buffers observed include 25 feet from surface waters and ditches and 100 feet from each of the 3
fresh water wells on site. All the wells are utilized for the swine operations, and no residences or
domestic wells are near the wastewater application areas.
Existing main lines are 4" Class 160 IPS, PVC bell and gasket plastic pipe, and solid set laterals are
2, 3, and 4 inch Class 160 IPS, PVC glued joint pipe. New mains shall be 6" Class 160 IPS, PVC
bell and gasket pipe unless otherwise noted, and laterals will vary again based on number of
sprinklers on the lateral. The existing pumping unit is a John Deere diesel engine with a Berkeley
centrifugal pump end. Engine/pump unit was sized to accomodate both the traveler and the solid set
system requirements of approximately 250 gallons per minute at the required total dynamic head.
The system will include gate valves at critical points to prevent unnecessary charging and pressure
on parts of the system not in use, and to control the flow of the water in the main line. A 4-inch
lagoon riser is used for the ground entry of the main line and isaccompanied by a pressure gauge, air
relief, and pressure relief valves. New main should include similar features. Air relief valves will
be placed at the end of each line to eliminate any damage from water hammer. Solid set risers shall
be installed according to recommended practice as shown in the attached diagram. Traveler
hydrants shall be installed according to diagrams attached. Thrust blocks will be installed where the
supply line comes from the pump and makes its ground entry, and at all tees, ells, and ends of
laterals.

System Operation
As described above, ASCS tract and field designations have been combined into "I-#" fields so
common areas can be managed as single units. Also, although some fields contain more than one
soil type with different recommended application rates, it is our recommendation to design and
operate the system uniformly for each given field, using the most predominant soil type for that area.
Table 1 below shows information on the fields incorporated into the design. Fields I-1 through I-5
are all common ownership with the swine operation, and Field I-6 is family property that will be
utilized under lease, with notarized pumping agreement.
As the table shows, although MRCS allows up to 1.5" depth of application, it is recommended to
limit single irrigation events to 0.5 inch in order to reduce the risk of runoff To further minimize the
risk of runoff or ponding occuring, solid set irrigation can be operated such that no two overlapping
sprinklers will operate simultaneously. As shown in the calculations, this yields a precipitation rate
of only 0.15 in./hr for the full circle sprinklers, and only 0.3 in/hr for the '/z circle sprinklers. If
sprinklers are operated adjacently such that spray overlaps, the precipitation rate is 0.27 m./hr, which
is still acceptable. The combination of maintaining a low rate with a low application depth should
insure that no runoff will occur as long as other factors discussed below are considered.
Since the lagoons include 180 day pumping storage, it is important that pumping occurs regularly,
with the last application on coastal bermuda prior to frost and the first application as early in the
spring as possible. Added components to the system, as shown in the plan, includes the capability to
pump from any area onto Field I-6, which allows pumping on a winter crop without any overseeding
of the coastal.
It is important that the operator follow this plan as well as the waste management plan. When
applying irrigation, the operator should take notice of the conditions and follow MRCS Waste
Utilization Specifications. The specified maximum amounts of wastewater sprayed per cycle are
1.5" for Norfolk, I" for Wagram, and 0.65" for Blanton, as stated in the waste utilization plan. It is
our recommendation, however, that applications should not exceed 0.5" per application. We feel
that 0.5" is a sufficient amount of wastewater to apply per cycle, considering the low to moderate
water holding capacity and potential for nutrient leaching on these soils. There should not be
another application applied until the amount applied in the previous cycle has been used by
evapotranspiration (ET). This usually takes approximately three to five days, depending on the
climate and soils of the area.
During the winter months when temperatures are below freezing, the risers need to be drained at
least into the lateral lines. Water should not freeze at a depth of 30 inches which is the
recommended depth for both lateral and main lines. The pump, suction, and discharge should all be
drained during freezing temperatures. Spraying should never take place during freezing
temperatures. It is also important not to spray when the soil is saturated and ponding or runoff is
likely. Spraying should not occur when the wind speed is more than ten miles per hour.

Sprinklers and air relief/vacuum release valves should be checked periodically to ensure that they
are operating properly. Check to ensure that the pressure gauge at the pump is operating properly.

*All land within the assigned field numbers is in the same crop, so the fields are essentially treated
as one. A sprinkler precipitation rate Will be selected to be less than the infiltration rate of the most
restrictive soil.
**Although the MRCS has indicated that up to 1.5" can be applied at one time, it is suggested that
the total application be limited to 0.5" and space the applications several days apart. This will help
reduce the potential for runoff.

SOLID SET EMIGATTON SPRINKLER SETTINGS
The solid set system shall include Nelson 9/32" sprinklers (or equal) to operate at 55 psi, yielding a
flow of approximately 17.2 gallons per minute (gpm). System layout includes primarily full circle
sprinklers, with'/z circle and 3/ circle patterns used where required along borders and setbacks.
Wetted diameter at 55 psi sprinkler pressure is approximately 133 feet, and sprinkler and lateral
spacing is mostly 80 feet, which follows standard practice of 60% overlap for solid set systems.
Prior system design was based on operating 14 sprinklers simultaneously, so the pump and power
unit are sized to give approximately 240 gpm.
Precipitation rate (PR) for the individual full circle throw is calculated assuming that no adjacent
sprinkler is operated simultaneously, and also assuming overlapping spray patterns. With no
adjacent sprinklers operating together, the wetted radius can be considered as 90% of total wetted
radius, resulting in a PR for the full circle sprinkler of 0.15 in./hr., well below the design maximum
rate. Since the half circle sprinklers have the same flow rate and cover only half the effective wetted
area, the PR for them is twice the PR of the full circles, or 0.30 in./hr., also within the design
maximum rate. This PR should not be used to calculate operating time for a given depth
application, as the effective wetted area is based on effective length and width from the riser, which
is a standard 80' by 80'. With overlapping spray, the calculated precipitation rate increases to 0.27
in/hr for full circles and 0.54 for %2 circle patterns, still within an acceptable range for the given
soils.
Although the calculated effective wetted area is greater for some risers due to position along the
outside lateral or end of lateral, all risers will be assumed to cover the same effective wetted area,
and thus have the same recommended operating time. As shown in Table 2, it is recommended to
set the operating times at approximately 2 hours per full circle sprinkler and 1 hour for half circle
sprinklers. This will result in simple recordkeeping for the owner, and will result in the same
application depth throughout the fields. The owner should individually record the risers used in
each application, even if he ultimately records irrigation events per field. The plans attached
accomodate this system by assigning letters to individual laterals and a number to each riser along
the lateral.
Effective irrigated acres is calculated as 0.15 acres per full circle by using a lateral and sprinkler
spacing of 80 feet, except in Field I-5, where a lateral spacing of 100' is utilized due to field width
and better pattern overlap. These acreagea are only slightly higher than using the exact sprinkler and
lateral spacings, which account for no additional coverage on perimeter sprinklers or for increased
coverage on the sprinklers spaced over 80 feet.

TRAVELING GUN SYSTEM
The farm presently owns a Hobbs Reel Rain hard hose traveler, which is equipped with 960 feet of
3.0" poly hose and a Nelson 150 end gun with ring nozzles. Two of the four pulls in Field I4 and all
pulls in Field I-6 are designed to utilize the 1.18" ring at 70 psi sprinkler pressure, which produces a
330' wetted diameter and 245 gpm flow. The other two pulls in Field 14 (A2, B2) will use the 1.08"
ring at 60 psi in order to reduce the wetted diameter to 300' and a flow of 182 gpm.
The spray pattern of the gun should be no less than the arc angles shown in the precipitation rate
calculations. It is recommended that all pulls operate at approximately 270 degree are pattern,
which will keep the PR below the maximum for all soil types. However, as shown on the plan, some
pulls in Field I-6 require changing the pattern to 180 degrees at the end of the pulls, to prevent spray
going beyond the field boundaries. The certified operator is accustomed to making these
adjustments as required by field borders, and this is not considered excessive management
requirements.
Effective wetted areas have been calculated using travel lane spacing and approximately 75%
efficiency on perimeter spray areas. A buffer of 25' shall be maintained between wetted area and
perimeter ditch in Field 1-6.
Traveler lane spacing is set at approximately 67% of wetted radius, which is within acceptable
practice for efficient coverage. The system should not be operated when wind conditions exceed 10
mph, and the best time to run is at less than 5 mph.

As in the solid set system, it is recommended not to exceed 0.5" application per irrigation event. To
achieve this depth, the traveler speed must be set according to the flow and lane spacing used. An
example of travel speed calculation is shown in the Calculations section, and each pull is detailed in
Table 3 below for design conditions.
A total of 8 hydrants will be required. The 2 in Field I-4 are existing; the 6 in Field I-6 will be
installed along the farm path at the field edge, and a pumping agreement will be maintained on this
field. The longest travel distance is 940' and the shortest is 385'. Actual and effective lengths and
widths are shown in Table 3 below.

The length of the travel lane will determine the length of time required to operate each pull. Table 4
lists the estimated travel length and the respective time to complete each pull, based on the above
listed travel speeds using 1/2" application depth and the above listed effective widths. It is
recommended to spray approximately 15-20 minutes with the gun cart stationary at the beginning of
the pull in order to achieve a more even coverage. However, if, as in some cases, the ineffective
part of the spray radius falls outside the field border, the cart may be started immediately after full
discharge. Times listed in Table 4 do not include delay times, as they should vary according to
conditions and spray patterns.

Note: This design is based upon information provided by the owner and site plan survey by Brent
Whitfield and Associates. Design of additions to the existing system is preliminary and should be
viewed as such. Distance, setbacks, etc. should be verified during actual installation of system, and
the engineer should be contacted if changes are required. The design shows that this site is capable
of handling the wastewater from the facilities with available land in accordance with the information
provided.
Refer to owners and operators manuals for upkeep and maintenance of the irrigation equipment. It
is our recommendation that the designer visit the site during installation.

Friction Loss in Main and Lateral Pipes (FL)
Since most of the piping is existing, recommendations will be based on sizing additional piping
based on the following criteria:
1. New main line pipe which will deliver in excess of 200 gpm shall be 6" dia.
2. Laterals. shall be sized according to number of risers as follows:

Up to 6 risers: 2" pipe
Up to S risers: 2-1/2" pipe
Up to I 1 risers: 3" pipe
Up to 20 risers: 4" pipe
Lateral may be downsized according to the number left on the end of the lateral. Further detail
computations may be done if requested to determine optimum sizing of all piping.

TDH for System
As stated above for friction losses, since the primary equipment is already owned, and the system
currently operates according to requirements, no detailed TDH calculations are necessary. The
system's additions should have little or no impact on TDH as long as the same quantity of sprinklers
are operated simultaneously.

OPERATION & MAIN'I EINAI`'CE PLAN
Proper lagoon liquid management should he a year-round priority. It is especially.
important to manage levels so that you do not have problerns duri^g extended rainy and
wet periods.
Maximum storage capacity should be available in the lagoon for periods when the
receiving crop is dormant.(such as wintertime for bermudagrass) or when there are
extended rainy spells such as the thunderstorm season in the summertime. This means
that at the first signs of plant gro-wth in the later winter/early spring, irrigation according to
a farm waste management plan should be done w4=enever the land is dry enough to
receive lagoon liquid. This wilt' make storage space available in the lagoon for future wet
periods. In the late sumnier/early fall the lagoon should be pumped down to the low
marker (see Figure 2-1) to allow for winter storage. Every eft'-ort should be made to
maintain the lagoon close to the minimum liquid level as long as the weather and waste
utilization plan will allow it.
Wai-lr:g until the lagoon has reached Its maximum storage capacixy before sta(T!ne t0
irrigate does not leave room for staring excess water during, extended wet periods.
Overflow frorn the lagoon for any reason except a 25-yea,, 24-hour storm is a violation of
state law and subject to penalty action.
The routine maintenance of a lagoon involves the following:
Maintenance of a vegetative cover for the darn.
Fescue or common bermudagrass are the most common vegetative
covers. The vegetation should be fertilized each year, if needed, to
maintain a vigorous stand. The amount of fertilizer applied should be
based on a soils test, but in the event that it is not practical to obtain
a soils test each year, the lagoon embankment and surrounding areas
should be fertilized with 800 pounds per acre of 10-10-10, or
equivalent.
Brush and trees on the embankment must be controlled. This may be
done by mowing, spraying, grazing, chopping, or a combination of
these practices. This should be done at least once a year and
possibly twice in years that weather conditions are favorable for
heavy vegetative growth.
NOT E: If vegetation is controlled by spraying, the herbicide must not be allowed to enter
the lagoon water. Such chemicals could harm the bacteria in the lagoon that are treating
the waste.
Maintenance inspections of the entire lagoon should be made during the initial filling of
the lagoon and at least monthly and after major rainfall and storm, ev?nts. Items to be
checked should include, as a minimum, the following:
Waste Inlet Pipes, Recycling Pipes, and Overflow Pipes —look for:
1. separation of joints
2. cracks or breaks
3. accumulation of salts or minerals
441. overall condition of pipes

Lag010,
11 surface --look fo, :
I. undesirable vegetative growth
2. floating or lodged debris
Emba_ nkment---look `or:
1. settlement, cracking, or "jug" holEs
2. j side slope stability —stumps or :Dukes
3. wet or damp area;, on the back slope
4. erosion due to lack of vegetation � or as a of wave action
�. rodent damage
Larger lagoor±s rnay,be subject to liner damage due to wave a-ior� caused by strong
winds. These waves can erode the lagoon sidewalls, thereby weakening t'�e lagoon dam.
A good stand of vegetation will reduce the potential dar„age caused by wave action. if
wave action causes serious damage to a lagoon sidawall, baffles in the `agoon may be
used to reduce the wave irnpacts.
„nv of these features could lead to erosion and weakening of the 'am. ,f vour la moon has
any of these features, you should cal! are appropriate expert rami:'iar with design and
co";Struction of waste lagoons. You may need to provide a temporary fix if there i5 a threat
of a waste discharge. However, a permanent solution should be reviewed by the
technical expert. Any digging into a lagoon darn with heavy equipment is a serious
undertaking witch potentially serious consequences and should not oe conducted unless
recommended by an appropriate technical expert.
Transfer Pumps --check for proper operation: of:
I . recycling pumps
2. irrigation pumps
Check for leaks, loose fittings, and overall pump operation. An unusually loud or grinding
noise, or'a large amount of vibration, may indicate that the pump is in n-ed or repair or
replacement.
NOTE: Pumping systems should be inspected and operated frequently enough so that you
are not completely "surprised" by equipment failure. You should perform your pumpingsystem maintenance at a time when your lagoon is at its low level. This will allow some
safety time should major repairs be required. Having a nearly ful! lagoon is not the time
to think about switching, repairing, or bcrrowing pumps. Probably, if your lagoon is full,
your neighbor's lagoon is full also. You should consider maintaining an inventory of spare
parts or pumps.
Surface water diversion features are designed to carry all surface
drainage waters (such as rainfall runoff, roof drainage, gutter outlets,
and parking lot runoff) away from your lagoon and other waste
treatment or storage Structures. The only water that should be
coming from your lagoon is that which comes from your flushing
(washing) system pipes and the rainfall that hits the lagoon directly.
You should inspect your diversion system for the following:
1. adequate vegetation
2. diversion capacity
3.r ridge berm hc-;gilt

identified problems should be corrected promptly. It is a�: visable to inspect your system
during or immediately following a heavy rain. If technical assistance is needed to
determine proper solutions, consult with appropriate experts.
You should record the level of the lagoon just prior to when rain is predicted, and then
record the level again 4 to b hours after the rain (assumes there is no pumping)." This will
give you an idea of how much your iagoon level will rise with a certain rainfall amount
(y3u must also be recording your rainfall for this to work . Knowing this should help in
planning irrigation applications and storage. If your lagoon rises excessively, you may -
have an inflow problem from a surface water diversion or there rnay be seepage into the
lagoon from the surrounding land.
La;oon Operation
Startup.
1. Immediately after construction establish z complete sod cover on +bare soil
surfaces to avoid erosion.
2. rill new lagoo:i design treatme^t volume at least half full o; water before
waste loading begins, taking :are not to erode lining or bank slopes.
.3. Drainpipes into the lagoon should have a flexible pipe extender on the
end of the pipe to discharge near the bottom of the lagoon during initial
filling or another means of slowing the incoming water to avoid erosion of
the lining.
4. When possible, begin loading new lagoons in the spring to maximize
bacteria! establishment (due to warmer weather).
S. it is recommended that a new lagoon be seeded with sludge from a healthy
working swine lagoon in the amount of 0.23 percent or the full lagoon
liquid volume. This seeding should occour at least two weeks prior to the
addition of wastewater.
5. Maintain a periodic check on the lagoon liquid pH. if the pH fails below
7.0, add agricultural lime at the rate of i pound per `000 +cubic feet or
lagoon liquid volume until the pH rises above 7.0. Qot}mum lagoon liquid
pH is between 7.3 and 8.0.
7. A dark color, lack of bubbling, and excessive odor sianais inadequate
biological activity. Consultation with a technical specialist is recommended
if these conditions occur for prolonged periods, especially during the warm
season.
Loading:
The more frequently and regularly that wastewater is added to a lagoon, the better the
lagoon will function. Flash system5 t`,;at vti-a5h waste into the lagoon several times daily are
optirnurn for treatment. Pit recharge systems, in which one or more buildings are drained
and recharged each day, also work well.

t
Practice water conservation —minimize building v.,ater:usage and
>polage from leaking waterers.` broken pipes and washdown through
proper maintenance and water conservation.
Minimize feed wastage and spiNag�! by keeping feeders adjusted. This

The lagoon liquid level -should never be closer than 1 foot to the lowest
point of the darn or en:ba.nkment_
Do not pump the lagoon liquid level lower that the permanent storage
level unless you are removing sludge.
Locate Float pump intakes approximately 18 inches underneath the liquid
surface and as far away from the drainpipe inlets as possible.
Prevent additions of bedding materials, long-stemmed forage or vegetation,
molded feed, plastic syringes, or other foreign materials into the lagoon.
Frequenfiy-remove solids from catch basins at end of confinement houses or
wherever they are installed.
Maintain strict vegetation, rodent, and varmint control near lagoon edges.
Do not allow trees or :arge hushes to groxv or, lagoon cam or embarkment.
Remove sludge from the lagoon either when the sludge storage capacity is
full or before it fills 50 percent of the permanent storage volume.
if animal production is to be terminated, the owner is responsible for
obtaining and implementing a closure p.an to eliminate the possibility of a
poll�;tant discharge.
Sludge Removal:
Rate of lagoon sludge buildup can be redluced by:

proper lagoon sizing,
mechanical solids separation of flushed waste,
gravity settling of flushed_waste solids in ar, ap.propriate'ry designed basin, or
minimizing feed wastage and spillage.
Lag•�)an sludge that Is removed annually rather than stored long `.Prrn'will:
have more nutrients,
have more odor, and
require more land to properly use the nutrients.
RReMDVal techniques:
Hire a custom applicator. -
Mix the sludge and lagoon liquid' with a chopper-a;itator impeller
pump though large -bore sprinkler irrigation system onto nearby crop and
and soil incorporate.
Qewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or
foragelanc; mix rerrtaining sludge; pump into liquid sludge applicator; ha;.rl
and spread onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate.
aewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or
forageland; dredge sludge from lagoon with dragline or sludge barge; berm
an area beside lagoon to receive the sludge so that liquids can drain back
into lagoon; allow sludge to dewater; haul and spread with manure spreader
unto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate.
Regardless of the method, you must have the sludge material analyzed for waste
constituents just as you would your lagoon water. The sludge will contain different
nutrient and metal vaiues from the liquid. The application of the sludge to fields wi'1 be
limited by these nutrients as well as any previous waste applications to the: field ar-A4 crop
.requirement. Waste application rates will be discussed in detail in Chapter 3.
When removing sludge, you must also pay attention to the liner to prevent damage. Close
attention by tl^e pumper or drag -line operator will ensure that the lagoon liner remains
intact. F you see soil material or the synthetic liner material being disturbed, you should
st0P tt e activity immediately and not resur;,e :until you are sure that the sludge can he
removed without liner injury. If the liner is darnaged it must be repaired as soon as
possible.
51udge removed from the lagoon has a much higher phosphorus and heavy metal content
than liquid. Because of this it should probably be applied to land with low phosphorus
and metal levels, as indicated by a soil test, and incorporated to reduce the chance of
erosion. Note that if the sludge is applied to fields with very high soikest phosphores, it
should be applied only at rates equal to the crop removal of phosphorus, As with other
wastes, always have your lagoon sludge analyzed for its nutrient value.
The application of sludge will increase the amount of odor at the waste application site.
Extra precaution should be used to oh:erve the wind direction and other conditions which
Could increase the concern of neighbors.
